***July 27, 2020: Covid-19 positive test from a person who attended weekday Mass at Our Lady’s on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 21 & 22. The person was not sitting within six feet of anyone. We promptly got in touch with the Newton Health Department. Their experts assure us that others at that Mass are not at higher risk than the general population from their being at Mass – thanks to our following health protocols. If you were in close contact with the infected person, you would have been contacted by us already. The person’s name and health condition is strictly confidential. Whether the case is relatively symptom-free or not, I am sure we all will keep this person in our love and prayers. May they and all be blessed with good health. God bless you! Fr. Dan
